The former Rossoneri defender was furious with the referee’s decision which he considered detrimental to Monza against Milan

Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – Monza coach Alessandro Nesta was furious with referee Ermano Feliciani’s decision which was considered detrimental to his team when they met AC Milan in the Italian Serie A League, Sunday (3/11/2024) early morning WIB. This former tough Rossoneri defender was also inflamed by the referee’s decision.

In the match held at home, Monza lost 0-1 to Milan thanks to the only goal from a player of Indonesian descent, Tijjani Reijnders in the 43rd minute.

In front of their own supporters, at the U-Power Stadium, Monza dominated the first half. Unfortunately, they missed a number of good opportunities.

Monza scored a goal through Dany Mota Carvalho’s kick. However, the referee did not approve the goal because Warren Bondo was deemed to have pushed defender Theo Hernandez when the goal occurred.

“We feel angry, but at the same time proud of these players. “We had two good performances against Atalanta and Milan, we should have scored four goals in the first half, we scored one goal and it was disallowed,” said Nesta.

Nesta, who when actively playing was Milan’s doorstop, believes that the referee destroyed football. “We need to return to the old style of leadership. What kind of violation is that? “The referees apologized to Monza after what happened against Atalanta, but an apology will not stop us losing points,” he said.

When there was a violation against Theo Hernandez, the referee initially gave the signal to continue play. However, the referee blew the whistle for the foul without waiting for VAR review.

According to Nesta, referees make football very complicated. “None of this makes sense. “Football should be simpler, it is a sport that involves physical contact, now all small touches can be punished, offside by the tip of a fingernail, you have to duel with your hands on your back or it could potentially be a penalty,” said Nesta, who is also a former Lazio player.

With this defeat, Monza remains in 18th position in the Italian League standings with a collection of eight points.
